SLIP RESISTANCE
Mean slip resistance values using the RRL Pendulum
Test (fitted with Four-S/Slider 96 rubber and tested in
accordance with BS 7976:2002) were taken at regular
periods throughout the cleaning trial as well as at the
start and finish of the test. By conclusion of the trial,
all Polysafe products maintained slip resistance
readings of greater than 36 in the wet, thereby
adhering to Health and Safety Executive Guidance.
It is clear then, that in today’s safety flooring market,
Supratec + is a significant offering where the low
maintenance properties allows colour choice to
become an important specification criterion for a
safety floor, without detriment to the key requisite of
sustainable slip resistance. The availability of
Supratec + in the Polysafe Corona range allows fresh
and vibrant colourways to be selected, allied to colour
co-ordination with Polyflor smooth vinyls across use
areas. This is a complete world away from the
archetypal safety floors of years gone by, where colour
choice was more limited. This co-ordination facilitates
the implementation of colour coded design schemes
and wayfinding zones in specific areas of a building.
For detailed maintenance instructions for all Polysafe
ranges, please refer to individual Floorcare sheets,
either from www.polyflor.com or contact Polyflor
directly.
REMEMBER A CLEAN FLOOR
IS A SAFER FLOOR
That’s why safety flooring is being used in the first
place – specify a floor with the right maintenance
regime for you and stick to it.
The use of polish is not a short cut to keeping safety
flooring clean. Polish should not be applied to any
Polysafe product as it impairs the slip resistance of
the floor.
